equally g.iity when they pervert the au

| as much us city corporation. The of

are agents and trustees of the public ant

in the fidelity OF both Why, then, should
partiality or eXtortion be condemned a.

| let there are virtuOuS and diSintereSteC
statesmen among us who think that faith
ful service ought not to be enforced agains,
the railroads companies however loudly il
may be claimed by the body of the people
as their just due, and no matter how dis
tlnctly it may be commanded by the Con
StltutlOn itself.
Then follows instances of corruption
and misgovernment and denunciation OF
railroads for employing men to set up
shop during the session of a Legislature
and attempting to control legislation.
Tie following is clear and strong:
The functions of railroad corporations
are as clearly defined and ought to be as
universally understood as those of any
servant which the State or General Gov
ernm+nt employs. Without proprietary
right in he highways they are appointed
to superintend them for the owners, They
are charged with the duty of seeing that
every needed facility. for the use of those
thoroughfares shall be furnished to all
citizens, like the justice promised in Magma
Charta, without sale, denial, or delay
Such services, if faithfully performed, al e
nd -al h,
sation ought to be full equivalents; ac-
cordingly, they are authorized to pay
themselves by levying upon all who use
the road or toll or freight sufficient for
that purpose.
But tits tax must be reasonable, fixed
certain, and uniform, otherwise it is a
fraud upon the people which no depart
ment OF the State government, nor all Of
them combined, has power to legalize. -
1t is much easier to see the nature a6d
character Of the mischief wrought by fhe
present practice of the railroad companies
than ii is to calculate its extent. If your
action depends in any degree upon the
amount of the spoliatlon which the people
of the State have suffered, and are now
suffering, for want of just laws to protect
them, You certainly ought to direct an
official inquiry into the subject and ascer-
tam the whole truth as nearly as possible.
We regret that We have room in the
CHRONICLE only for these few extracts
from this great argument of this great
lawyer, who though dead yet speaks. We
hope never to hear another lawyer claim
that in legislation there is no distinction
between a railroad and farm. The shades
OF Black defend US from such a legal opin-

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE


BARNES STORE, n. G.. Feb "a. 1856
In the last CHRONICLE noticed with regret
that you opposed The passage of the Ply
sician'S Lien Law bill now before the Leg
islature. | am sorry, because you are gen
erall, right and | hate this time to have to
say you are wrong. | am sorry because
you are such a leader in the Democratic
ranks and of course we ouly look to the
Democratic party for protection. In your
reply to the quest ions asked with regard
to your opinion on this bin, | fear you did
not give due deliberation to the matter
and that you did not view il from all sides
like you would have done under other cir
cumstances. Your conclusions may, how
ever, have been drawn in part from an
article written by a certain Physician
opposing the bill, simply because he was
expelled by the State Medical Society be
cause of his violation Of the code of ethics
by advertising in an unbecolning manner.
However much we may differ with you we
can but give You praise foryour outspOken
manner But let's 90 into the depth of
your objections little. First. YOU say
laws ought not to be made with reference
to the people Of any special class and that
this bill would be doing this very thing
To show the absurdity Of passing This bill
then, you bring out some comparisons and
say III IIllS Dill were 10 become law, la y
yers, editors, preachers, &c, would have
a perfect right to expect similar laws for
tfelr protection.
Now lets see if they would have that
perfect right to expect such law We
believe that there ought to be no select
classes in legislation and yet it is so, but
it generally is some moneyed corporations;
but still we are oppOsei to such leglsla-
ton, everything else being equal; but is it
so in this case9 Are the necessities calling
for the services of lawyer or an editor
or any other class of men such as call for
the services of q doctor: \ man is in a
difficulty: he Is accused Of crime for which
his free citizenship is to be taken, or his
property is in jeopardy, and he very wisely
secures the advice of a lawyer and in this
case the lawyer has no hesitation in first
demanding pay or security, and they do it.
A man desires to spend his spare moments
in learning the news of the country in or
der that he may make a ready man and
profit by it. So he writes for good pa
per and if the editor does not know him
he does not at'all dread asking for money
first And it is SO with any other bust

was manly and eloquent. Iho- tentle-

Breaking Up.

In response to the inquiry whether or
not the Knights of Labor organization
was breaking up, Mr.. Powderly, through
The Journal of United Labor, says:
We are breaking up as the ploughman breaks
up the soil for the sowing of new seed; we are
breaking up old traditions; we are breaking
up hereditary rights and planting everywhere
the seed OF universal rights; we are breaking
up the idea that money makes the man and
not moral worth we are breaking up the Idea
that might makes right: we are breaking up
the idea that legislation is alone for the rich :;
We are breaking up the idea that the Congress
of the United states must be run by million
aires for the benefit of mil1ionaires: we are
breaking up the idea that a few men may hold
millions of acres of untitled land while other
men starve for want OF one acre we are Dfeak- :
ing up the practice of putting the labor OF
criminals into competition with honest lapor
and starving 1t to death; we are breaking up
the practice of importing ignorances bred OF
monarchies and dynamite in order to depre-
ciate intelligent, skilled labor at home; We
are breaking up the praetlce OF EMPLOYING
little children in factories, thus breaking up ii
race deformed, ignorant and prohlgate; We,aIe
breaking up the idea that a man who Works
with his hands has need neither OF education
nor OF eivilizng ref1nements; we are breaking
up the idea that the accident OF sex puts one
half of the human race beyond the pale of con-
stitutiOnal rights; we are breaking up the
practice Of paying woman ne-thlid the wages
paid men simply because she is woman; we
are breaking up the idea that a man may de-
bauch an infant girl and shield himself from
the penalty behind law he himself has made
we are breaking up ignorance, intemperance
crime and oppression of whatever character
and wherever found. Yes, the Knights of Labor
are breaking up and they will continue theii
appointed work of breaking up until universal
rights shall prevail and while they may nnt
bring in the millennium they will do their part

for the emancipation OF the race
